We went to the doctor today for the follow up visit. The swelling was pretty severe and the doctor ended up having to drain it. He took a lot of fluid off, and there is still some left behind. They wrapped her head tightly and we have to see the doctor again on Thursday. If the swelling continues, there is talk of additional surgery, but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. The doc said that the main abnormality on the CT scan was the fluid collection. We forgot to ask if we still need the MRI on November 5th, in the wake of them having to drain the fluid. But, we'll ask on Thursday when we go back. We're praying that Lily doesn't have to endure anymore surgery, but the collection of spinal fluid on her scalp was pretty bad. It looks better now, but there is still some fluid there. We'll post more on Thursday as we here more about what's going on. Right now, Princess Goofball doesn't seem that affected--as you can see in the picture. Her two favorite animals got bandaged too and she's been walking around the house holding them up to her head and calling herself "Triceratops." She's a nut.
